Why is it called Liberty Corner? The first word is derived from
West Liberty Pike, the late 19th-century name for what we now call
Allisonville Road. Places where rural roads met or crossed were
often referred to as "corners" during the 1800s; they
were frequently identified as locations for country churches and
schoolhouses.
